So, this past weekend we finally had some milder temps, so I couldn't wait to show some bare leg with some boots. This Cardi Camp jacket c/o Everly and Ace is seriously my new obsession ya'll. If you follow my blog on the regular than you know how much I love a great southwest/aztec/navajo/tribal print (well, really any bold colorful print PERIOD), so when I received this beauty in the mail my mind immediately raced with a dozen ways to style it. I went for a sweet look by pairing this jacket with a light pink drop-waist dress, a sparkly necklace, and a fun bag. I am traveling to Nola this weekend for a Bachelorette party and I already know this jacket is coming with me. I'm thinking I might style it next with a great pair of jeans (distressed, boyfriend, or coated), a v neck or soft jersey tee, a great hat, and my new fave reversible letter belt from C Wonder. Let me just add that a utility/safari/camp jacket (this jacket has many names) is a piece that every gal should have in her closet. It's incredibly versatile, can be styled from season to season, and has the ability to pull together even the simplest of looks. It's the jacket I grab when I need to add some oomph to my outfit, and also the jacket I grab when I'm in a fashion rut and don't know what to wear. What's really awesome about this jacket in particular, of course, is the aztec print in the back. So someone might think you're dressing down, or just wearing a simple jacket, and then BAM you turn around and leave them in awe with their jaws open wide thinking to themselves, "I NEED that jacket." Trust me gals, I've already had three people stop me in the street to ask me where they can buy this gem. Oh, and let me just add that the back of this jacket is a soft crochet -- I mean SOFT, like butta. ;) I guess you could say I'm in love.
What are your thoughts on my new jacket? Are you fan of this style? If so, how do you style yours?
